gun show march 19-20

Nope.

My days of legally liquidating my collection in accordance with federal law are over.

Maybe next year once I finalize my prototypes.

PS: She still owes me, so I'm going to use my favor to get Mac a date. Better polish up the porsche big guy.

I have been going to the gun show for years, usually I can carry everything I buy in a bag. But last October I knew I was going to stock up on ammo, especially seeing the deals the vendors had to offer. So I brought a small, metal folding handtruck. The guy at the ticket gate let me bring it in. Once I started loading the handtruck with ammo I started wheeling it around. A Blaisdell staff person walked up to me and said sorry I cannot use the handtruck, I would have to carry it around with the ammo on it from now on

He said something like its a rule for the venue, only the vendors can use such equipment. I told him how are we expected to carry around heavy purchases then? He shrugged and said i'm sorry i'm only following directions from my supervisor (he points out a lady in Blaisdell uniform standing by the exit). I still had to visit more vendors but carrying the handtruck around looked stupid and it was damn heavy, so I chose to wheel it around while keeping an eye out for staff. I was wondering about this rule, maybe someone stubbed someone's toe in the past and there was a litigation thing? Maybe I should contact Blaisdell venue...maybe handtrucks are prohibited but maybe hand "carts" are not??? By the way, I had an idea of bringing a baby carriage and using that to load my purchases lol. If all of that is not allowed, then damn, i'm just gonna bring a large bag and drag the thing around.

Anyone can shed some light on this subject?

You raise a good point. Show rules prohibit vendors from using carts and hand trucks during the show hours.
Never thought about buyers having to carry around heavy purchases. Will inquire....

Not sure why, but it's the dumbest rule ever.

Last gunshow thought I saw some shoppers using small wire or plastic shopping carts or baskets with wheels and handle.
Wonder if they'll allow using a 2 ball wheeled bowling bag or backpack/soft cooer with wheels. Too bad NBC cannot give out tags or stickers for the carts after verifying you only a shopper.
Maybe have to start registering hand carts and cannot be high capacity(LOL).
